 * [Github guides (highly recommended)](http://github.com/guides/home)
 * [Guides: Fork a project and submit your modifications](http://github.com/guides/fork-a-project-and-submit-your-modifications)
 
+Our convention is to develop in the *experimental* branch, and keep only stable, tested stuff in *master*.
+So ideally, all contributors develop in their experimental, that gets merged into the mainline experimental, and after QA it gets merged into the main master.

 ### VALGRIND PROFILING
 	$ add this to Makefile header: CFLAGS=-g
 	$ recompile
 	$ valgrind --tool=callgrind ./uzbl ....
 	$ kcachegrind callgrind.out.foo
+
+### MEMORY LEAK CHECKING
+    valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full ./uzbl
+
+### DEBUGGING / BACKTRACES
+
+* compile with -ggdb (enabled by default on experimental tree)
+* run: `gdb ./uzbl`
+* `(gdb) run -c /path/to/config`
+* `bt` if it segfaults to see a backtrace
+* you'll find more info on the interwebs
